Chapter 18 The Old Things of the City Gate Are Not Old Things
It is clear in the newspaper that the position of the commander of the Kyoto Forbidden Army is no longer held by the eldest prince, but is handed over to the palace, and after the palace is put down in Kyoto, he has regained the old position of the commander of the Ouchi guard, and now he is also the commander of the forbidden army, which is not a surprising thing. The Ye family's loyalty to His Majesty is well known to the world, and the palace is no longer in charge of the security of the eldest prince, of course, it can only be handed over to the palace dian.
But the question now is what position His Majesty will put him in after the eldest prince is no longer the commander of the forbidden army. There was no mention in the newspaper, and there was no clear news in Kyoto, Fan Xian looked at the paper in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head.
There were several very important personnel appointments in Kyoto, and these appointments were concentrated in the military, and it was obvious that His Majesty had something in mind, and he also began to move his place for His Highness. What caught Fan Xian's attention the most was that Xiao Jinhua, the commander of the Kyoto garrison, was removed from his post and transferred to the Nanzhao Border Army as the deputy governor, while Shi Fei, the governor of the northern camp, was recalled by His Majesty's decree and took over the very important post of the commander of the Kyoto garrison, while Wang Zhikun, the governor of the Yanjing camp above Shi Fei, was stationary.
Three military general transfers, absolutely unusual. Fan Xian was very aware of the roles played by these military generals, and he also deeply understood the different attitudes of His Majesty towards these people. For example, Xiao Jinhua, the commander of the Kyoto garrison, was only the commander of the Donghua Gate of the Thirteen Cities Division when he rebelled in Kyoto, because his position was stable, and Shengsheng blocked the remnants of the Qin family to which the prince belonged in Kyoto, and made great contributions.
But Fan Xian had already guessed that His Majesty would definitely not let this little horn named Xiao Jinhua serve as the commander of the Kyoto garrison for too long, on the one hand, this person's foundation was too shallow, it was difficult to convince the public, and it was difficult to assume such an important responsibility as the Kyoto garrison, and secondly, Xiao Jinhua was born in the Thirteen City Gate Division, and His Majesty Xià was the most chilling for the Thirteen City Gate Division's expression in the Kyoto rebellion.
The emperor trusts Zhang Deqing the most, Zhang Deqing is biased to the eldest princess, although the emperor afterwards Zhang Deqing Ling Chi to death, the three clans, but still did not vent the anger in his heart, Xiao Jinhua can be regarded as suffering from the pond fish, but this person should be clear about his symbolic role, and he should be able to accept it when he goes to Nanzhao as the deputy governor.
The situation of the Northern Army is more complicated, Yan Xiaoyi was killed by Fan Xian on the top of the mountain, and the Qingguo Zhengbei Camp next to Cangzhou was involved in the rebellion, and I don't know how many times it has been purged in the past two years, and the imperial court has not let the general Shi Fei officially take over the post of Governor of the Northern Expedition, but only let him know that he is under the jurisdiction of Wang Zhikun of the Yanjing Battalion.
General Shi Fei has been Wang Zhikun's deputy general for more than ten years, and there should be no problem with this arrangement. But now that His Majesty has asked Shi Fei to return to Beijing to take over as the commander of the Kyoto garrison, the position of the governor of Zhengbeiying has become vacant, who is this left to?
Fan Xian shook his head, thinking that probably everyone could see it clearly, the position of the governor of Zhengbei, who was on the cusp of the world, was of course reserved for His Royal Highness.
It seems that after two years of recuperation, Emperor Majesty finally began to lay out his chess pieces step by step, especially in the past two months, the Supervision Yuan and the Dingzhou Army forcibly stabilized the situation in Xiliang and the grassland, and Emperor Majesty finally had the heart to prepare for a qiē in the northeast.
It's just that if His Royal Highness wants to become the vanguard commander of the Qing Army, in charge of the 100,000 troops at the forefront of the army, and become the governor of the northern part of the expedition on the one hand, then he must accept the arrangement of His Majesty the Emperor on the other hand-to accept the side concubine, and when the army is dispatched, it is the time for the princess to leave the court.
"Boss is not such a person. Fan Xian frowned and thought, His Majesty has already led the Qing army for the Great Prince, and all the roads for the battlefield have been paved, just waiting for the Great Prince to understand his hard work and embark on this road, the problem is that although the Great Prince is good at the battlefield, he is afraid that he will not be able to do this kind of thing.
At the thought of being forced to do such things under the oppression of His Majesty the Emperor after returning to Beijing, Fan Xian felt very bored and couldn't help but snort. Although this hum was extremely low, it startled Deng Ziyue and Mu Feng'er beside them, and they didn't know what was going on.
"It's nothing, let's rest quickly, we have to hurry tomorrow. Fan Xian rubbed his eyebrows, waved his hand to the two, and after thinking about it, he left Deng Ziyue behind.
He looked at Deng Ziyue, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You have been stationed in the capital for a long time, do you know how the people of Northern Qi view Shi Fei?"
In the past two years, Shi Fei has been stationed in Cangzhou, leading the expedition to the northern camp to compete with a generation of famous generals Uesugi Tiger, although he suffered some small losses, but he won without being in a hurry or being dry, and stabilized the situation very well. Deng Ziyue thought about it and said: "General Shi Fei has been serving as the deputy of Wang Dadu in the Yanjing camp in previous years, and his reputation is not very prominent, that is, after going to the northern camp two years ago, he gradually became known to the Qi people. Although there has been no major war in the north and south of Cangzhou in the past two years, under the coercion of the Uesugi Tiger, he was still able not to panic, and this alone at least proves that Shi Fei's xìng feelings are biased towards yīn soft and neng. ”
"yīn soft?" Fan Xian asked rhetorically with some disapproval: "If it was just yīn kneading and being able to hold it, how could His Majesty let him bear such a heavy burden two years ago." ”
Deng Ziyue knew what Lord Tisi was talking about, in the late autumn of the seventh year of Qingli, the Dadongshan incident, and the rebellion in Kyoto, everyone seemed to ignore the Beidaying near Cangzhou that was abandoned by Yan Xiaoyi, and they didn't think of the important xìng there. But Fan Xian never forgot that when the emperor was still trapped on the East Mountain, he had secretly issued a secret order to go to Yanjing, so that the Yanjing camp was ready to take over the Cangzhou Beida camp at any time, in case the Northern Qi people took advantage of the chaos to enter.
This is an extremely important task, as soon as Yan Xiaoyi died, thousands of pro-soldier brigades were captured, if there is no powerful general in charge, I am afraid that the Beida battalion will really mutiny. At that time, the general who was in charge of the extremely important will of His Majesty was the general Shi Fei.
How to ambush the military heart of the Northern Battalion, not many people know the specific process, but Fan Xian, who is the director of the Supervision Yuan, knows that in his opinion, the process of Shi Fei's order to clear the army is really more like a legend.
General Shi Fei only brought a dozen personal soldiers, and then entered the Cangzhou Beida Camp, holding the holy decree in his hand, and easily controlled the Beida Camp. In the face of an army of 100,000, where did this general get the courage and what kind of ability he had to make the Beida Battalion, which Yan Xiaoyi had been running for several years, as docile as a war horse.
The characters who can do such a big thing are definitely not just yīn soft. Fan Xian's eyebrows became more and more painful, and he always felt that some yīn shadow was shrouded in his mind, and His Majesty the Emperor was willing to let His Royal Highness lead the Northern Expedition, which was expected, but a powerful person like Shi Fei, who was transferred back to Kyoto to serve as the commander of the Kyoto garrison, was targeted?
As early as when the former crown prince sent an envoy to Nanzhao, Fan Xian had deduced that once the power of the eldest princess melted like ice and snow, he would be greeted by the merciless reduction of power by His Majesty the Emperor, as well as the ruthless attack of the older generation of the court in the palace. In the past two years, the Supervisory Yuan has been cut a lot, but fortunately, His Majesty has increased his trust, and no one in the government and the opposition dares to do anything to him, and the elders who worried Fan Xian the most have also gained the most valuable experience from the rebellion in Kyoto, and they automatically disappeared from the stage without waiting for His Majesty to make a move.
My father had already resigned from his position as the head of the household department and honestly returned to Lanzhou for the elderly. Although Chen Pingping is still serving as the president of the Supervision Yuan, she has long since stopped taking care of things, and has handed over all the affairs of the Academy to Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun, and has already submitted a request for resignation to His Majesty, but His Majesty really pity the relationship with him, and insisted on not allowing it. Of course, among the older generation of characters, the most miserable is the father-in-law in Wuzhou, in the Kyoto counterinsurgency, the former prime minister Lin Ruofu made a bad calculation, and entrusted everyone he buried in the court to his good son-in-law, I thought that I could make a comeback, but who would have expected that the emperor would return to Beijing safely, and this qiē became a dream bubble.
Not only is it a bubble, but the emperor is deeply jealous of the dishonesty of the former prime minister, and in the past two years, he has rectified the people who have been in the prime minister for many years, although he did not use any powerful means, but he also pulled out the last strength of Lin Ruofu in Kyoto.
Regarding this matter, Fan Xian didn't even have room to speak, he only looked at this qiē with a wry smile, and watched his father-in-law in Wuzhou panic and fear, and secretly wrote to his majesty one after another, asking for sincerity.
Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the double face of Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er, and did not continue to pursue Lin Ruofu.
Thinking about it this way, the three old guys that His Majesty the Emperor intended to sweep away had all consciously retreated to the back of the stage, and the Qingguo Imperial Court was like an iron bucket, Shi Fei was transferred back to Kyoto, why was such a powerful figure not staying in the war to unify the world, but being transferred back to the side of His Majesty the Emperor, against whom?
Could it be himself? Fan Xian was a little gloomy in his heart, no longer thinking about these questions, raised his head and whispered to Deng Ziyue: "You don't have to pay attention to the affairs of Kyoto. ”
After a pause, he said, "Whatever you hear or know, don't care...... You have to remember that you are an official of the Supervision Yuan, a courtier of His Majesty, and I am letting you go in Xiliang now for the sake of the lives of hundreds of millions of people in Qingguo. ”
Deng Ziyue is the second person to enter the Qi Nian group, he was personally arrested by Wang Qinian, in addition to the old Wang Tou, he is Fan Xian's number one cronie, he has been in Beijing in the Northern Qi Dynasty for several years, and he also knows that Lord Tisi is promoting himself, and he is not very grateful. At this time, listening to the ominous meaning of Lord Tisi's words, he couldn't help but be speechless, and his eyes were full of worry.
The three successive leaders of the Supervision Yuan and the four Northern Qi spy networks are Yan Bingyun, Wang Qinian, and Deng Ziyue, all of whom are Fan Xian's most powerful assistants, and if they don't have an accident like Wang Qinian, they will all be the most cutting-edge officials of the Supervision Yuan in the future.
Fan Xian looked at Deng Ziyue quietly: "The matter of Xiliang is very important, you have to deal with it well, after returning to Beijing, you will take care of the positions of the four hosts first, so that it is relatively simple to support the other seven major places, but you don't care about the rest of the jurisdiction for the time being, or let Yan Bingyun lead it, understand what I mean?"
"Understood. Deng Ziyue nodded, "Thank you, Lord for your grace." ”
"Don't let the Hu people step into my territory. Fan Xian stared at his eyes, "I have given up so many people, and it will take at least two years to put you who I trust the most in this desert Xiliang Road, for what, you also know, don't let me down." ”
Deng Ziyue's heart was so big that he knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "I will live up to the expectations of adults." ”
Fan Xian nodded, and didn't say anything more, but Deng Ziyue's heart was still full of emotion, he had followed Lord Tisi for five years, but he had never seen the other party explain a matter so seriously, and what made him feel even more awe-inspiring was that it was clear that Master Fan was just a young man in his early twenties, but when he explained things and did things, he was so calm and stable, like an old guy who had been up and down in the court for decades.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "About the Songzhi Immortal Order......
Songzhi Immortal Order is Begonia, and the news will always spread slowly, but at least for now, except for Fan Xian, only Deng Ziyue knows this secret. Hearing this request, Fan Xian fell silent and did not answer for a long time.
――――――――――――――――――――――More than ten days later, Qin sent Fan Xian's convoy to Kyoto, but three days earlier, Fan Xian gave an order, and all the honor guards and dazzling things were withdrawn. This trip was ordered to inspect Xiliang just a formality, and the plan under the dark was the most important thing, plus there were some small troubles in Kyoto, Fan Xian didn't want to be too ostentatious, so the Qincha honor guard turned into a convoy of the Supervision Yuan.
Naturally, there was no problem with the passage documents of the Supervision Yuan, and the officers and soldiers of the City Gate Division did not dare to provoke these masters, the convoy did not wait long outside the West City Gate, and then went to the city gate, Fan Xian lifted the corner of the curtain of the car window, and subconsciously looked out, and couldn't help but think of the first time he entered Beijing, he once glanced at Ye Ling'er galloping in.
Ye Ling'er should have arrived in Dingzhou now, Wang Shisanlang must come to Fan's Mansion to report on the New Year's Day, but I don't know if she will come with her, Fan Xian's face couldn't help but float a smile of relief, recalling that when the chūn was heavy, the woman was wearing a light skirt and a white deerskin hat, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were clear...... Suddenly, a gray shadow rushed past from the side of the convoy, dangerously brushing the carriage that Fan Xian was riding, this shadow was extremely fast, almost startling the horses of the convoy of the Supervision Yuan, and the situation was very thrilling.
The swordsmen of the six divisions of the Supervision Yuan subconsciously held the handle of the iron drill with their hands, ready to strike at any time.
However, Fan Xian had already seen the gray shadow clearly, and shook his head, it was just a little girl on horseback, why should she be so nervous, but the little girl on a horse rushed so fast, and she didn't care about the safety of these people and vegetable farmers waiting at the city gate, which made Fan Xian couldn't help frowning.
Which young lady from a powerful family should be that right, otherwise it wouldn't be so arrogant, Fan Xian stuck his head out of the window, squinted at the woman who rushed into the city gate, looked at the team that was disturbed by her horse, and an old farmer who fell to the ground in fright, and his mood became bad.
There were many reasons why he was in a bad mood, but one of the most important ones was because the powerful lady was riding a horse and actually wore a skirt, and like Ye Ling'er, she actually wore a white deerskin hat on her head, or ...... Same as Ye Ling'er.
"Whose lady is this, acting so badly. Fan Xian asked Mu Feng'er next to the car, Mu Feng'er's family was all working in Kyoto, and they were very clear about the personnel of the powerful families in Kyoto. But now Mu Feng'er looked at the horse that had disappeared far away, and just shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
On the contrary, there was a member of the Qi Nian group who went out of the city to greet him and whispered: "It should be the young lady of the Wang family." ”
"Wang family?" Fan Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that except for the daughter of Wang Zhikun's family, the governor of Yanjing, which Wang family in the whole of Kyoto dared to be so arrogant. Two years have passed since the Kyoto Rebellion, and the Yanjing camp has been particularly outstanding in the counterinsurgency, not only clearing the entire Dongshan Road for His Majesty, but also controlling Yan Xiaoyi's expedition to the northern camp. Now Wang Zhikun is far away in Yanjing, but Shi Fei has been transferred back to Kyoto, this is the so-called Yanjing faction in the army, and it is the time when the saints are grand.
It is said that the Governor of the Metropolitan of the Kingdom of China was grateful for the grace of God and cherished the old house of Kyoto, so he let this young lady return to Kyoto...... Today's Kyoto garrison commander Shi Fei is a subordinate of Wang Dadu Governor in previous years, this Miss Wang is called an uncle, this Miss Wang is said to love the style of Miss Ye in Kyoto the most, so ......" The members of the Qi Nian team explained in a low voice, an excellent subordinate will always analyze the situation for the boss to avoid unnecessary problems.
"Want to learn from Ye Ling'er?" The smile on the corner of Fan Xian's lips was a little weird, "When I first saw Ye Ling'er outside the city gate, the people of Kyoto would automatically make way for her, and I have never seen my apprentice whip people indiscriminately......"
Looking at this scene, he gradually understood in his heart who the proposed concubine of the eldest prince in the palace was, and his face gradually sank, and said, "Don't enter the palace first, go around to Prince He's mansion." ”
